During my middle school, jr, and high school days, I spent a good deal of time procuring and reading "banned books"


Hmm, I thought JFK was one of the good guys, under his admin, they blocked "catcher in the rye" -

quote:

The Catcher in the Rye has faced numerous challenges and bans since its publication. It was the most censored book in American schools and libraries from 1961 to 1982.
In 1978, it was briefly banned in Issaquah, Washington, high schools when three members of the School Board alleged the book was part of an "overall communist plot".
The book has also been challenged in more recent years, appearing in the list of the ten most challenged books in 2005 and 2009.

My list included one flew over the cuckoo's nest, Lord of the Flies, Flowers for Algernon, Farewell to Arms, Fahenheit 451 Lady Chatterly's lover, Naked lunch, and Brave New World -- oh, and course because i had to be BAD and REBELOUS, I read the Necronomicon (what a load of rubbish that even a teenager could see was shite)


basically most books on this list - https://epl.bibliocommons.com/...ay/70525507/70738099


Brave New World itself is HIGHLY relevant to the books being "banned" today - state sponsored juvenile sex, total break down of anything looking like a family unit, societal-imposed promiscuity and drug use - Where bonding into a family unit, having sex with one partner, and raising a family, was acts of degenerate rebels

good luck, though
